Alan, I think your reading more into this than there is... I never said you did anything wrong... however, if you want to take me to court I will take everything you own from you.

Be careful hotshot....
 
So it's DJL's word against Alan Hyatt's, not to mention the population of these forums. All you really have to do is figure out who the hell he is ;)

Harvey,

You are taking it out of context. It was not meant to say you only liked Marshalls. You have blasted them as much as you have said you liked them, and it was in that context that I said you liked them...So do I for that fact. It was not meant to say you only like Marshall's or only say good things about them. I was just making a point and used your name, Robbs, and Ted's to do so.....There was no ill intent. The relationship was a credible name associated to saying nice things about a specific brand of mics.

Sorry Alan, I forgot to include the smiley face. I understood what you meant and there was no ill intent taken. :)

Hey, what am I, chopped liver? :D
 
Ouch. DJL ... please make it quite clear which side of the line you're on, because the tension is gonna be unbearable till you either back down or go in further.
 
Another fine topic ruined in the mic forum. What were we discussing?

Alan, again you miss understood.... I'm going to go eat some ice cream and maybe go for a swim... I suggest you do something similar to cool down.

Actually, GoMano and I are responsible for derailing this whole thread. I challenged some of GoMano's claims, and used Ted's review of the C1 as an example. From there, things went rapidly downhill, or to hell in a handbasket.

The original request was for information about under $100 mics; GoMano brought up the $400 SE, and I blew the rest of the thread.

(I wonder if the WWF* would be interested in sponsoring this thread?) :rolleyes:

Didn't they change to World Wrestling Entertainment? I really don't think they would be interested, because this really isn't all that entertaining anymore. Kind of like watching reruns of Gilligan's Island.

Funny you mention that, Harvey, as it's now the WWE (for Entertainment) after the World Wildlife Federation sued them for using WWF.

Y'all might want to check out the new 'reputation' feature if you haven't yet. Scroll over the green light on the top of each post to see the member's rep. Click on the scales to make a comment pro or con. These comments are anonymous to the poster & affect their rep. I presume if somebody's rep gets negative, they change to a yellow or red light. Might be a good way to manage problems with members in the future if everybody starting using the feature.

There is a thread on reputation in the Dragon Cave.

Well, it wasn't just you or GoMano, it was several of us. I stand behind my original skepticism because of the way GoMano's post read to me. Frankly, the entire gang here seems to be always on the edge. I mean, DJL hadn't even posted yet and GoMano took offense (prematurely, IMHO) at the those of us who were skeptical. So, it's a group-thing; I don't believe individuals can be singled out for the initial derailment.

Sorry, I REALLY did not mean it that way. I MEANT we finally got someone NEW here. You have ALWAYS been the biggest asset here. Many big people who post here (like Fletcher) really only cater to "high-end" studio equipment. You know and use some low-end equipment and have much more experience to be helpful to the home-recording crowd.

BEFORE you insult, and chase off a great talent like Ted, why don't you do something that gives YOU credibility?
Think about it........................

Like you're one to talk, moron.

Thanks for chasing that Gomano guy away and accusing him of being a spammer when all he wanted to do was hang out and rap with us. Christ, you're a piece of work. Hello, Mr. Pot. My name is kettle.

Thank you Harvey...Well put.

At Studio Projects, we do not go through 5 or six mics to try and find a closer sounding mic to the U87, which is one I bought from Coast Recording brand new. As some of you know, we sell off our mics at shows, so that means we need another model for the next show. When it is time for the next show, we just grab one off the shelf. That is why I am so confident to offer $1K to anyone who can prove otherwise. They are always just a mic taken from stock.

I have nothing to lose here, I have everything to gain. Getting caught in that kind of deception would put me out of business. I may be a good salesperson, but I am not stupid, and I think we make a great mic. Not everyone will like them, but you can say that about pretty much every mic.

DJL, If you persist on accusing me of cheating, I think there are enough people on this group to witness defamation of character and slander. Believe me, you are on a fine line with this one to which you do not want to get tangled in. Just ask TFPro. So I suggest you bring up the proof, or back off on this one before you cross over the legal line... This is a warning, not a threat, but don't think that if it gets out of hand it won't become one.

I do not cheat or deceive people at trade shows.....

In all of these types of fights that I read, I can only come to a single conclusion. It is the people who ask the quastions about "what mic should I choose?"

Now, there are 4,000,00 or more answers to this. I hate to say this, but, anyone who is a pro engineer, producer, or manufacturer is open to the battering of the home-recorders. The very fact that home-recording implies that people record in their home, with no direction, bad rooms, limited knowledge/experience and some really big egos (in some cases), I don't see how the pro can win. Look at what happened here as an example:
Pro-producer and pro-singer say both mics sound very similar.
Non-pros say they do not.

The people who BUY your mics are the ones disagreeing with you, and real pros.
Who is right?
Probably both. The difference is really the lack of pro-equipment, skills, rooms etc. The home -reccer is at a supreme disadvantage, and tries to get a mic that will sound "great" for them. If all they own is shit equipment and bad rooms, inagine how they are let down. All they have to blame now is the mic they just got.

You have to admit that a shure sm57 sounds totally different in a $3000 pre vs. a Mackie pre, no?

BTW I don't see these kinds of threads in the pro forums because the people who are real pros are on a more or less equal footing. The mic tests they run are well undersood as they all have decent equipment with good rooms etc.

How do you know this, Acorec?

Do you research every guy who posts in them?

Sorry to change the subject. :D I was just curious.
